Travis Hamonic Receives Five And A Game For An Almost Elbow

The animated .gif below tells it all.
Now Orpik was hurt, came back with stiches above the nose area, but I don’t think the damage was done by Hamonic.

Orpik Denies Eye Gouging Accusations
by Paul on 04/27/11 at 07:32 PM ET

from Damian Cristodero of Lightning Strikes,
Brooks Orpik, in his first public statements regarding the accusation from Tampa Bay Lightning coach Guy Boucher he either poked or gouged the eyes of ightning star Steven Stamkos, called the accusation “disappointing and childish.”
“It’s disappointing,” Orpik told the St. Petersburg Times and Pittsburgh Post-Gazette after the Penguins’ morning skate before Wednesday’s Game 7 at the Consol Energy Center. “I didn’t hear about it until this morning. It’s disappointing. You try to play against their skill guys as hard as you can, try to make it miserable for them. But it’s kind of a childish accusation, kind of a little wrestling match on the ground with a couple of headlocks. I don’t know where that came from.”
The alleged incident took place early in the third period of Monday’s Game 6 during a scrum in front of the Penguins net. Stamkos came out of the pile “fired up,” as he has said, and still was clearly agitated after the game. There was no penalty on the play, and Stamkos did not immediately address the confrontation, though Boucher said he saw it. Lightning GM Steve Yzerman indicated he spoke to the league about the incident, but the league took no action.

Coach Dan Bylsma will provide more details after practice, but GM Ray Shero said today he expects D Brooks Orpik to “be out a while,” adding that “we expect him back this season.” Orpik injured his right arm—likes his hand—when he absorbed a shot from Sharks C Patrick Marleau Wednesday night in a home overtime loss.

A Two Week Injury For Orpik
by Paul on 11/12/09 at 04:47 PM ET

from Sam Kasan of PittsburghPenguins.com,
Another day, another injury. Or so it seems for the Penguins these days.
In the team’s most recent health setback, it was announced Thursday that defenseman Brooks Orpik will be out of the lineup for the next two weeks with a lower-body injury.
“He’s got a two-week injury, lower body,” head coach Dan Bylsma said. “We were excited that he was doing better than we feared. He’s doing well. We got some good news and he’ll hopefully be around 14 days.”

Pens Trying To Keep Orpik
by Paul on 06/26/08 at 09:21 AM ET

from Rob Rossi of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review,
Orpik’s agent, Lewis Gross, would not say Wednesday if the Penguins have presented a contract offer. However, indications are the club will soon make a formal offer, if it has not already.
Many around the NHL believe Orpik could command offers of $4 million annually from other teams. He is thought to be willing to give the Penguins a so-called “hometown discount” if they provide him a long-term deal.

Penguins/CBJ Trade Talk
by Alanah McGinley on 06/10/08 at 08:26 PM ET

From Aaron Portzline at Puck-rakers in the Columbus Dispatch,
The Pittsburgh Penguins won’t be able to keep their Stanley Cup runner-up club together because of salary cap issues. It looks like the Blue Jackets are prepared to offer a helping hand.
The two clubs have had preliminary trade talks, the Dispatch has learned. The discussions have involved Pittsburgh trading the rights to one or two of their pending unrestricted free agents—players the Penguins have decided they can’t keep because of the salary cap—to the Blue Jackets for draft pick or player compensation.
It’s unclear who the players are, but Ryan Malone and Brooks Orpik seem like logical choices.

Trouble Brewing with Therrien
by Alanah McGinley on 06/06/08 at 11:38 AM ET
Comments (0)
From Steve Simmons at the Toronto Sun,
...there is a brewing problem between coach Michel Therrien and some of his players—a number of them despise playing for him.
No one will choose the Stanley Cup final as a forum to call out their coach but there are far too many whispers out there that too many players can’t stand working for—or with—Therrien.
If that isn’t an issue to be dealt with immediately, it is certainly something that will grow with time. Brooks Orpik, the free agent defenceman who will be coveted by many teams after July 1, has told people he will not re-sign in Pittsburgh if Therrien is the coach. Jordan Staal, the terrific young player who lives in the shadow of Crosby and Evgeni Malkin—but is poised to bust out as one of the most complete centres in hockey—is another Therrien complainer.

Talking to Penguins Talbot and Hall (Updated)
by Alanah McGinley on 05/29/08 at 02:47 PM ET

Update 1:01pm ET: Interview with Ryan Whitney & Brooks Orpik now added below.
__________
Q. What do you feel like you did better in Game 3 than you had done in the previous two games, and what do you feel like you have to do better still in Game 4?
ADAM HALL: Well, I think we were just able to do a better job limiting our turnovers and forechecking, and I think that was kind of a key to help creating more offense for us.
MAXIME TALBOT: Yeah, we made some little adjustments. And obviously I think that the desperation in and the crowd got us going. Yes, we had a little slow start, but I think after that yesterday it was a cliche but we talked about getting the first goal, and that was huge for us. And we got it, and it was a different game for us. Because it’s easier to play, when you play against the Detroit Red Wings and they have the lead, it’s kind of hard to come back because they’re so smart and experienced.
